BP Amoco cited for tobacco violation

Only one business failed to comply with the city of Naperville's minimum-age tobacco laws in a recent check conducted by the Naperville Police Department.

A clerk at the BP Amoco station, 901 N. Washington St., was cited for selling cigarettes to someone under the age of 21 when tested by police, the department said in a news release. Police checked about 70 retailers in the first and third weeks of April, the release said.

The city enacted a new ordinance this year in which the age to purchase tobacco products increased from 18 to 21. The compliance check was funded with a grant from the Illinois Liquor Control Commission's "Kids Can't Buy 'Em Here" Tobacco Enforcement Program.
